Your stuff stays yours.

1Who we are

DailyTekk (dailytekk.com) is run by Chris, the creator behind the DailyTekk YouTube channels. In this policy, "DailyTekk", "we" and "us" mean the site and the person who runs it. This policy covers dailytekk.com, including the Hey it's Chris game, Even So, Daily Grind FM, the other games and tools on the site, and the contact form.

2What stays on your device

Most of DailyTekk runs entirely in your browser. To remember things between visits, it uses your browser's own storage (localStorage, sessionStorage and, for voice notes, IndexedDB). That data lives on your device and is not sent to us.

• Games: progress, high scores, unlocks, settings and the like.
• Even So: your tasks, notes, habits, links, focus timer and daily log. Voice notes are saved in your browser's IndexedDB.
• Daily Grind FM: your mix, theme and visualizer choices.
• This visit only: a few short-lived settings, such as whether sound is muted, are kept in sessionStorage and cleared when you close the tab.

Microphone

Even So's voice notes ask for microphone access only when you press record. Recordings stay on your device. They're never uploaded and never synced.

Deleting it

Clearing this site's data in your browser settings removes everything above. Because we never had a copy, we can't restore it, so use Even So's backup option if your notes matter to you.

3Even So sync (optional)

If you turn on Sync devices in Even So, your data is shared between your own devices without an account. Here's how it works:

• Your device creates a random pairing code (a 256-bit key). You move it to your other devices by typing it or scanning its QR code. In a pairing link, the code sits after the #, a part of the address browsers never send to a server.
• From that code, each device works out the same three things: which storage slot to use, an access token, and an encryption key. The code and the key never leave your devices.
• Before anything is uploaded, your data is compressed and encrypted on your device (AES-256-GCM).
• Our server stores only: the encrypted copy, a version number, when it was created, last changed and last used, and a one-way fingerprint (SHA-256 hash) of the access token, so it can check a device is allowed in. It cannot read your data.
• Device names (like "Chrome on Mac") are stored inside the encrypted copy, not in the clear. Voice notes are not synced.
• While a device is open, it may keep a live connection to the server so changes show up quickly. Only version numbers and how many devices are connected travel over it.

Deleting it: "Forget this sync group" deletes the encrypted copy from the server straight away. A synced copy that isn't used for 180 days is deleted automatically. If you lose your pairing code and all of your devices, nobody (including us) can recover the synced data.

Saved pages, calendars and sharing from other apps

• Previews. When you save a page in Even So, its address goes to our server, which reads that page's public title, description and picture and sends them back. Preview pictures are passed through the same way, so the sites you saved never see who's looking. Addresses aren't logged or tied to you; previews are cached for a week and pictures for 30 days, keyed by a one-way hash of the address.
• Your calendar (optional). If you add a calendar to Plan my day, its private address is kept with your data (and your encrypted sync). To show your events, Even So sends that address to our server, which fetches the calendar and passes it straight back. Nothing is stored or logged.
• Save from other apps (optional). Turning this on gives you a private save link for your iPhone's share sheet. Anything sent to it is encrypted on arrival with a key only your devices hold, and our server keeps only the encrypted copy until one of your devices picks it up (then it's deleted). Unclaimed items are deleted after 30 days, and a link nobody uses for 180 days is deleted with everything in it. Turning it off deletes it right away.

4When you contact us

The contact form and the Even So launch list are the only places where you give us personal information on purpose.

What we collect

• The topic you pick, your name, your email address and your message.
• Anything optional you add: for brand enquiries, your company, website, budget range and timeline; for bug reports, the page, your device and the steps.
• Which part of the site you came from (for example "evenso" or "radio"), your browser's user-agent string (its name and version) and the time you sent it. These help with bug reports.

Why

To read your message, reply to you, fix the bugs you report, consider your ideas and, for brands, discuss a possible partnership. We don't add you to a mailing list and we don't use your message for anything else. You give your consent with the checkbox on the form, and you can withdraw it at any time (see your choices and rights).

How it's delivered and kept

Your message is sent to our inbox by email through Resend, an email delivery service. If email delivery isn't available, the message is held in a private store on our Cloudflare hosting (only the most recent 500 messages are kept) until we read it. We keep messages for as long as we need them to deal with your enquiry and any follow-up, and generally no longer than 24 months, unless we're working together and need records for longer.

Spam protection

To stop abuse without a third-party captcha, the form uses a hidden field that only bots fill in, a minimum time on the page, limits on length and links, and a per-connection rate limit. The rate limit uses a one-way fingerprint of your IP address held briefly in memory. Your IP address is not stored with your message.

5The Even So launch list

On dailytekk.com/app you can leave your email address to hear when the Even So apps for iPhone and iPad come out.

What we keep

• Your email address and when you signed up.
• Which of our videos' links you came from, if the link had a tag (for example ?v=ruler). This tells us which videos people find useful.
• The exact wording you agreed to, so we can show what you signed up for.
• If you leave the list, the time you left, so we never email you about the launch again.

What we do with it

We send you one short email right away to confirm you're on the list, and one email when the apps launch. We won't use your address for anything else, such as other news or offers, unless you separately say yes to that. We don't sell it or share it with advertisers.

How it's sent and stored

The list is kept in a private store on our Cloudflare hosting. Emails are sent through Resend, an email delivery service. For the launch email, we may load the list into an email service such as Kit to send it; that service holds it only to send our emails. Your IP address isn't stored with your sign-up; the same spam protection as the contact form applies.

Leaving the list

Every email has a link to leave the list in one tap, and many mail apps show an Unsubscribe button that does the same. We delete the list once the launch email has gone out and we no longer need it, and in any case within 24 months of signing up. To have your address deleted sooner, use the contact form.

Signing up is your choice, and by signing up you agree to these emails. You can withdraw that at any time by leaving the list.

6Analytics and logs

Google Analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand how many people visit, which pages they read and where they came from. It sets first-party cookies (named _ga) to tell a returning visitor from a new one, and Google receives your IP address, which we ask it to anonymize, along with your browser type and the pages you view. We don't use it for advertising, we haven't linked it to any ad products, and we don't send it your name, email or anything you type into the site. If your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track, Google Analytics doesn't load at all. You can also use Google's opt-out browser add-on.

We don't use advertising pixels or any tracker that follows you around the web. The game raises internal events (for example "a video was opened") that stay inside your browser to drive in-game reactions.

Our own visit counter. To see how many people come from our videos, each page view sends us a tiny note: the page, the name of the site that linked to it (for example youtube.com), and any tags on the link (like utm_source). A few moments are counted too, at most once per visit: starting the game, entering Tekk Town, opening a free tool or Even So. We keep only daily totals. There are no cookies and nothing is stored on your device for this. To count a visitor once a day we use a one-way hash of the connection and browser, mixed with a random value that is thrown away every day, along with all the hashes. If your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track, it sends nothing at all.

If we measure traffic, we use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts page views in aggregate without cookies, local storage or fingerprinting. As our host, Cloudflare also processes standard request information, such as IP addresses, to deliver the site and protect it from attacks. We don't use that to identify you.

7Services we rely on

Fonts, music, sound and game art are served from dailytekk.com itself. A few outside services are involved, each under its own privacy policy:

• Cloudflare hosts the site, delivers it worldwide, protects it, and stores encrypted Even So sync data, the Even So launch list, and contact form messages that couldn't be emailed.
• YouTube (Google): videos played on DailyTekk are embedded from youtube-nocookie.com, YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode. When a video loads or plays, YouTube receives your IP address and may store information under Google's privacy policy. Video thumbnails load from YouTube's image server (i.ytimg.com), which sees your IP address like any image request. Links to YouTube take you to youtube.com.
• Google Analytics (Google) measures visits to the site, as described under Analytics and logs above.
• Resend delivers contact form messages to our inbox by email, and sends the Even So launch list's emails.
• OpenFreeMap supplies map tiles when you use a game with a map, such as Apple Trivia.

Links to other websites are not covered by this policy. Their own privacy policies apply.

8Cookies

The only cookies on DailyTekk are Google Analytics' own (_ga and _ga_…), used to count visits as described above. They aren't set if your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track, and you can clear or block them in your browser at any time. The browser storage described above is used only to make the site work for you. Embedded YouTube videos may use their own storage once you play them.

9Children

DailyTekk is family-friendly, but it isn't directed at children under 13. The games and tools work without giving us any personal information. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us something through the contact form, let us know and we'll delete it.

10We don't sell your data

We don't sell, rent or trade personal information, and we don't share it for advertising. We only share it with the services listed above so they can do their job for us, or if the law requires it.

11Security

The site is served only over HTTPS with strict security headers, Even So sync is end-to-end encrypted, and contact messages are visible only to us. No system is perfectly secure, but we keep what we hold to a minimum so there's little to lose.

12Your choices and rights

• On your device: you're in control. Clear this site's data in your browser at any time.
• Even So sync: stop syncing on a device, or use "Forget this sync group" to delete the server copy.
• Contact messages: you can ask to see, correct or delete what you sent us, or withdraw your consent.

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EU and UK, or state laws in the US such as California's), you may have further rights, including to object to or restrict how we use your information, and to complain to your local data protection authority. We'll honour reasonable requests wherever you live.

To make a request, use the contact form, choose "Other" and start your message with "Privacy request". To protect you, we'll answer at the email address you originally used. We aim to reply within 30 days.

13Where data is processed

Cloudflare and Resend operate internationally, so information may be processed in the United States and other countries. They provide safeguards for international transfers as described in their own policies.

14Changes to this policy

If what the site does changes, we'll update this page and the effective date at the top. If a change is significant, we'll say so clearly on this page.
